Oh, Teressa, I am so sorry for your loss. Eldena was such a special part of my years with Hospice Care. She was always cheerful, always helpful, especially after I became F.T. on-call. I would sometimes desperately ask her to hold the calls for a half hour to get a shower. I remember when you were sick & she was so worried. Your Mom was such a special, warm lady & will be remembered always. Hold her in your heart & she will be with you always.

I have missed hearing Eldena’s voice since I retired from Ashton Medical in 2022. She was always so pleasant on the phone and, if she had time, we always had a chat before getting down to business. I can still hear her answering the phone when I would call back…”Sincerely Yours Answering Service….” She was a special lady!
Hold your memories close. Many prayers for comfort and peace.
